Year In Read, 2013
http://rebeccaaronauer.com/post/71854021410/year-in-read-2013
January 01, 2014. Year In Read, 2013. A year is long, or long enough that when the end of December comes around, when the days are so short they start becoming longer, when there’s no work to be done besides eating sweets and vague thoughts about self-improvement, it always comes as somewhat of a surprise. I don’t have any grand proclamations about 2013, or any predictions about 2014. In 2013, I read and in 2014, I plan to do the same. After the jump, the books I read last year. A gag gift, though the ga...

Charm Offensive

March 30, 2015. But even with that kind of charming person, there’s a salesman feeling. It comes later, when the small jokes stay small. The really charming ones can get away with it, though. The feeling of potential around them is so great it’s almost better than something real. Designed by Artur Kim.

December 03, 2014. Jonathan Franzen Once Wrote Something Similar About Smoking*. I was a smoker for a very short time. My cigarette-buying phase lasted two or three years in college and even then, most of my cigarettes were social or finals induced. I would frequently give away packs of cigarettes in an effort to smoke less. After I graduated college, I stopped buying packs, and in the next calendar year, I resolved to stop smoking completely. Once said upon quitting for his 24. Birthday: “I feel l...

For the past three nights, I’ve had a dream about a medium-famous person. He’s famous enough that most people would probably know who I’m talking about, but not famous—or destructive—enough to be in the pages of US Weekly. In the city is in a mall. A fancy mall.

December 26, 2012. Year in Read, 2012. 2012: Well, the world didn’t explode, though parts of it did go under. The high of 2012 was the Big Sur Marathon; the low was crying in a parking lot in Broomfield. The best meals were the Kosher. Practice dinner party and the Momofuku Pork Butt. The Art of Fielding, Chad Harbach. Like Life, Lorrie Moore. The Marriage Plot, Jeffrey Eugenides. Big Sur, Jack Kerouac. It’s hard to take Jack Kerouac seriously as an adult. The Warmth of Other Suns, Isabel Wilkerson.
